Unable to load ammo. Carrier is not letting my loading gate move.

Disassembled everything but the magazine tube and still stuck.

I love this gun. No haven’t fired it yet. It is a Ruger made Marlin.

Are they reliable? It came with Skinner sights.

I want to put a muzzle break or flash hider. Any suggestions?

The gun is beautiful so I want the break to match and be pretty.

It looks like a gentleman’s fire arm!

My 1895 is sticking while opening. It doesn’t do it all the time, mostly if levering with the gun still shouldered. Gun has been cleaned, still does it semi frequently. The photo is of it at its sticking point. Anyone have any ideas?

Old mod 60

What i know is this is a glenfield model 60 wich i think is pretty old, cant seem to find anything relevant about it. I noticed this one doesnt have a stock unlike other models 60 wich confuses me, and it sort of a squirrel on the handle wich i don’t see in the models I’ve tried to look up.
Does anybody have more info about this gun?

DIY stock refinishing - something a bit different

4 Upvotes

Did some DIY modifications to my 336 stock. Never liked the slick factory finish on this stock. Considering how small the fore end is on these, maintaining a good grip is difficult with sweaty hands. I considered going aftermarket space-cowboy or Woox, but wanted to try my hand at this idea I had first.

Factory stock finish was pecan(?) stain on solid walnut wood

I removed the pecan-colored finish on the walnut with sandpaper and charred the surface with a propane torch. Then added texture with a wire wheel and stained it black.

Untouched pistol grip stock and charred fore end

I like the added grip texture and the overall blackout look. I added the Ranger Point Precision trigger a couple weeks back.

Some 444 Marlin on the 4th.

Too humid to comfortably shoot today so I decided to start developing a deer only load for the 444. Took Paul Harrells advice and I'm using the Hornady 240gr XTP bullet. Starting with 51gr H4895 so it won't be moving fast. Need to pick up some different powders if I'm going to take the speed up to 2400fps like Paul says his were moving.

I did some “minor” modifications to my 1895 Trapper. With the new stock and hand guard from Midwest Industries. This rifle is even more of a shoulder cannon now that I’ve cut off the excess weight.

I think it would be cool to match my Ruger made 1895 SBL's furniture with my Redhawk. I've looked around and can't find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know a place that does that or what I can search to find it? I know it would be easier to match the Redhawk's grips, but I would hate to take the red off the Redhawk.

Top to bottom we have a 39a from 1969, a JC Higgins model 45 30-30 from 1954, a 336rc 32 special from 1953, a 336sc 35 Remington from 1960, a model 410 from 2003, an 1894s 44 magnum from 1988, a model 444s from 1978, an 1895ss 45-70 from 1986, and an 1895g 45-70 from 1999. The only one missing from the picture is my levermatic 56 steel receiver that’s on loan to my girlfriend to keep foxes out of her chicken coop.

1895 carrier issue?

1 Upvotes

This is a long shot lol. But I have a Marlin 1895. It functions perfectly fine when having only 1 round loaded, but the second I put in 2 or more, it jams up.

From what I can tell, the carrier drops as normal and allows the first cartridge onto it, but the 2nd round follows and also tries to come out onto the carrier, making it so that now I cannot close my bolt, because the carrier cannot pop up.

I’m not sure why is this happening nor how to fix it. I’ve done a lot of random research on the internet, and I haven’t been able to find anything on this specific issue.

I’ve also tried ai (which was my last resort) but every ai is spewing random information, such as saying it’s an issue with the cartridge stop or the cartridge stop spring, but from everything I’ve read and seen, the carrier it’s self is the cartridge stop.

I’m out of ideas and would like some insight on what the issue might be.

Marlin golden 39a question

2 Upvotes

I recently acquired one of these and it is in excellent condition. It still has the "Solid American Walnut" sticker on it. Does anybody know how many of these were made in 1969? It is a 4 digit 3xxx serial # so I'm wondering if that would be considered low. Not something I would consider selling, just looking for information

Long shot but thought I would try.
Seeing if anyone has a spare magazine for this gun I have inherited, I have the bolt and everything but the magazine that came with it does not fit.
Any assistance in where to buy or locate one would be amazing.
Cheers

I’ve got a 1953 (or 1952 potentially?) model 336, model is 336 SC, chambered in .32 special, and it is absolutely immaculate. What would it be worth? I’m not looking to sell it, just curious on the value.

Finally got my dream gun, a Marlin 1895 Trapper, and am looking for a Muzzle brake. Was wondering if anyone had recommendations, as this is my first .45-70 and my first Lever Gun. Any comments are appreciated! (Barrel is already threaded)
